Introduction to Caving
Discover a local cave on an introductory caving trip in a small group, led by the Groupe de Spéléologie Rhodanien, a local caving club.
This accessible experience will allow you to explore a spectacular underground environment, with no narrow passages or sections requiring you to crawl on your stomach. The route follows a spacious vertical descent reaching up to 50 metres in depth, with a crossing where you will always be able to see daylight.
